Unidentified code injection
Summary: PortSwigger Research describes server-side code injection, which arises when an application incorporates user-controllable data into a string that is dynamically evaluated by a code interpreter. If that data is not strictly validated, an attacker can use crafted input to modify the code being executed and inject arbitrary code that the server then runs.
Why it matters: PortSwigger rates these vulnerabilities as usually very serious, leading to complete compromise of the application's data and functionality and often of the hosting server, which can then be used as a platform for further attacks against other systems.
